Tooth and Claw

From the running of the tunnels
To the smashing of the vessel
I am here in my cathedral
And I've been here for all time
But I only want to show you
That the angel's in the detail
That I see them in their circles
And I cannot close my eyes
I'm a captive of the sensorium
The pivot of the pendulum
From the height of the meridian
Falling into nature's hands
I'm the serpent in my own garden
No more abject, no more glorious
No more secret, no more obvious
In this barbaric wonderland
Even though I grasp at justice
I'm the architect of meaning
It's my comforting invention
It's my candle in the dark
But I hear a thousand voices
At the edges of the empire
And they scream for liberation
From the beating of the heart
We're a glance away from another world
Where we act on the invisible
Where we hide behind the particles
In the air and in the blood
It's a slight retune of the radio
It's a push beyond the envelope
Just one twist of the kaleidoscope
The implacable absurd
I'm the serpent in my own garden
No more abject, no more glorious
No more secret, no more obvious
In this barbaric wonderland
I told you, it's obvious.

Clockwork Man

You are the clockwork man
Who knows no laughter and no tears
And you have seen the time of conjurers
And lived eight thousand years
But you feel real when the dreams unroll
And all the lights they grow like trees
N'i trova nule rien vivant
fors sul le chevalier dormant

Just Born

Who will be watching the sun come up
The day it rises without us?
Too late by the time we realised
The future never needed us
A trick track, scratching the surface
Under delusions of progress
And when the seeds of destruction bloomed
Nobody came to save us
Do you remember they promised you
This strange kind of ascension?
Did you think you'd upload your humanity
To an eternal dimension?
As fast as mind can dream
Towards the singularity
Did you expect to see
The conquest of biology?
So you and I we have something to justify
You're asking me for a reason
The reason is that we're here at the same time
And all the odds are against it
We're by desire compelled
To reach for life/light beyond ourselves
Our only chance to hold the line
To slow the blinking of the eye
We're just born
